The Egyptian Legend of Isis (a.k.a. The Seven Scorpions of Isis) is the tenth episode of the reboot version and the 130th episode overall of Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Storyline

This story comes from the ancient myths of Egypt. Isis, goddess of healing and magic, is appointed ruler over Egypt by her husband, Osiris, who is also her brother. Another brother named Set is evil and envious of his successful siblings. He does what jealous brothers do. He kills Osiris, takes over Egypt and plots the murder of his sister, Isis, who is now pregnant.

Cristela: Gotta love family.

Olmec: I know, right?

Isis hides in the swampy marshes of the Nile River, working on a survival plan when she gives birth to a son she names Horus. Her good friend, Serket, the goddess of fertility and medicine, sends a baby gift of seven giant, poisonous scorpions to protect them from Set when fate ensues.

Moat Crossing

First, one of you is Serket, gifting Isis with the seven scorpions, while the other is Isis, collecting them before emerging from the swamp. When Cristela gives the signal, Isis, put on that belt upon which you clip your scorpions. Then both of you don your goddess headdresses and swim towards the second platform. On the way, search for a bag floating in the moat, containing four banners with the names of the scorpions. Hang the banners in the correct order by lining up the blue lines on the top and the bottom. Then Isis must swim back to the mud pit to find the scorpions and clip them to your belt. Once you have all seven scorpions, you may both exit the moat and hit your gong. The first three teams to hit their gong continue on their quest. The last team is out.

Steps of Knowledge

Tired and hungry, Isis emerges from the swamp disguised as a beggar woman covered in warts with a long, pointed nose. She, baby Horus, and her scorpion entourage go in search of food and shelter from the sweltering heat when they come upon the magnificent mansion of a wealthy, noble woman with a young child of her own.

"We are tired and hungry. May we stay the night? Perhaps a small meal for my baby?"

The woman slams the door in disgust so they trudge on, arriving at the modest home of a poor woman with little to give.

"I can offer you a simple meal and a bed of straw. I am only sorry I cannot provide more. Please come in."

While Isis and the baby finally sleep, Tefen, the leader of the scorpions, calls a meeting.

"The rich woman could not see the nobility in a beggar and turns away a queen? We must teach her a lesson."

Tefen collects venom from each scorpion. He returns to the noble woman's mansion in the dead of night, crawls under the door and searches, but not for the noble woman. For her sleeping baby.

Venom Quest (Time Trial)[]

In this game, you are Tefen collecting venom from your scorpion posse, each one designed to attack a different part of the body. When Cristela gives the signal, one of you grab a scorpion, absorb as much venom as you can, then climb atop the mountain and release it to your teammate below, who must catch it in that cranial funnel. Use that diagram to direct your teammate to the first scorpion, starting with Petet. Fill Petet's bottle without touching it with your hands then swap roles and fill the next scorpion's bottle. Once all the bottles are filled, you may hit your gong and stop the clock. The team that hits their gong the fastest wins.

Healing Ritual (Head-to-Head)[]

Tefen sneaks into the noble woman's mansion to find his target, her sleeping baby. He rears up and delivers his mighty sting, releasing seven doses of deadly venom into the child. The noble woman lets out a frantic scream that jolts Isis awake. She runs to the mansion to discover the dying infant and immediately knows what her scorpions have done. Transforming back into Isis, she lays her hands on the areas affected by the poison and chants seven healing spells to remove each scorpion's venom. But is it too late?

You must become Isis, extracting the venom to save the child. When Cristela gives the signal, one of you remove the cloth to reveal the first healing spell and the name of one of the scorpions. Chant the spell to your teammate, who must find that scorpion's rune and bring it to the child, creating a healing circle. Then swap roles. When the healing circle is complete with seven runes, remove the poison by popping the venom sack and then you may hit your gong. The first team to hit their gong wins.

The End of the Story

As Isis chants with intensity, the poison is extracted and the child revives. The noble woman offers Isis all of her riches in return, lamenting her earlier callousness. Isis graciously accepts the offer, then turns the riches over to the poor woman who sheltered them, securing Isis a place in the hearts of Egyptians for all eternity. And the fate of the baby Horus? He grows up to defeat his evil uncle, Set, and becomes the king of Egypt.

Temple Run

Frank enters the Temple first, moving at a great pace. He starts off in The Crystal Cenote by trying to open the middle door to The Spider's Lair, but the door remained locked. So, Frank then decides to try the door to The Royal Rage Room instead, which fortunately did open. Climbing up into the room and releasing his inner rage, Frank gets to work on smashing the various pots in the room. He was able to find the first jade key in the second pot he smashed and places it on The King's Coffer. (Though it fell off as it wasn't placed properly). After smashing his third pot, Frank finds the second jade key and places both the first and second jade key on the coffer. Then finally, after smashing his fifth pot, Frank finds the final jade key and places it onto the coffer to enter The Spider's Lair. Climbing and crawling through the sticky webbing, he was able to get through the lair and climb up into The Room of the Beloved. But as soon as Frank dropped the skull into the maze and managed to maneuver the skull through two layers of the puzzle. The first Temple Guard jumps out and captures Frank, resulting him to give up his pendant of life. With Maggie cheering him on, Frank continues with the objective and completes it with ease. Now heading up into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey, Frank gets to work on assembling the statue and completes it within a short time. (While he did have to slightly adjust the middle piece while placing the head, luckily it didn't deter him at all while assembling the statue). Still with plenty of time and moving at a great pace, Frank then moves down into The Steamy Hollows. But unfortunately, that was where the second Temple Guard was hiding in, and he captures Frank just as he entered the room. Removing him from the temple with 2:15 left on the clock.

Now it is Maggie's turn to try her luck. Moving at a moderate pace, Maggie races into the temple in order to get to where her husband had left off. Unfortunately, while in The Royal Rage Room, she accidently tries to take the stairs up to The Room of the Beloved. Luckily, Maggie realized her mistake, and heads into The Spider's Lair, where she got a bit tangled along the webbing. But eventually, Maggie climbs out of lair and heads up into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey and down into The Steamy Hollows. Despite having a good strategy by saying the pattern out loud, Maggie's first attempt was unsuccessful. (Mainly due to a production error, which caused the steam to malfunction, and therefore forcing Maggie to restart the process). Fortunately, on her second try, Maggie was able to unlock the door to The Queen's Armory and climbs down there next. Upon trying to put the shield on the Queen, the third and final Temple Guard jumps out from behind the door, leaving Maggie unfazed, and forcing her to give up her pendant of life. Unfortunately, like past teams, Maggie had somewhat of a hard time putting on the accessories on the queen. While she didn't have a problem putting on the shield, necklace, and ankle bracelet. The feather fan proved to be a killer to put on, especially when the necklace came off because of that. Sadly, by the time Maggie was placing the headdress onto the Queen, time expired. Leaving her two rooms away from the scorpion.

Both members of the Green Monkeys proved to be strong players and made little to no mistakes while completing the objectives in the temple. But had Maggie moved a bit faster, the production error not occurring in The Steamy Hollows, or had luck been on their side in The Queen's Armory. Then it is likely they would have gotten a better chance to get to the scorpion on time. But overall, they still did a great job, and this will definitely be a wonderful experience for the newlywedded Green Monkeys that they'll never forget.
